Green Mohair Suits: Newtown’s own alternative country/bluegrass band return home following their east coast tour to launch their new album, Wooden Duck. The dynamic of this band is interesting, as they feature four songwriters who each provide three songs that provide a diverse live experience.

Sheppard: With 2014’s highest selling single already under their belt with Geronimo, Sheppard now return home post-European tour to keep the juggernaut rolling. This may be the last chance Sydney get to catch the indie-pop group before they head off to conquer the United States.

The Tea Party: These Canadian rockers make the long journey to Australia for the fourteenth time with their The Ocean At The End tour. This one coincides with the release of their first studio album in 10 years, which they say was spurred by the spark they felt when they last toured Australia in 2012. Supporting them will be the reforming of Australia’s own Aria Award-winning band, The Superjesus, following a ten year hiatus. (JA)
